Tangential, but I wanted to correct this.
Based on a quick browse of startx in stable, it doesn't look at your
.profile or .bashrc at all, and, to the best of my understanding,
shouldn't.
There ought to be a way to set environment variables for your X
session, but AFAIK, nothing is portable across all X environments.
I have in my .gnomerc the following
test -e $HOME/.profile && . $HOME/.profile
exec /etc/X11/gdm/gnomerc
but obviously different measures will be needed for different
environmewnts.
I have taken care to put in my .profile only stuff I want in all
plausible environments, and source it from the pertinent startup
scripts for X, bash, sh, etc.
